Butyrylcholinesterase and diabetes mellitus in the CHE2 C5- and CHE2 C5+ phenotypes.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities (total and band specific) and diabetes mellitus.

Subjects And Methods: BChE activities (BChEA, AC(4/5), AC(OF) and RC(5)) were analyzed in 101 type 1 (DM1) and in 145 type 2 (DM2) diabetic patients, in relation to phenotype, weight and incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in these patients. The C(4/5) and C(5) complex were separated from other molecular forms (C(OF)) using an acid agar gel.
